Just to hit back on how many UK Tech 2's are left, this information is held by BMW right? So surely someone can flick a switch and print something out?

To be fair, Tech 1 and Tech 2 production figures appear similar.

These are the figures i have........

Tech 1=2045
Tech 2=2357

There will have been an overlap in the 1988 figures tho.


Both more rare than M3 :P


were did you pluck that random figure from? a magicians hat?


So your saying that they only sold 312 more tech2's in the 3+ years they were made compared to the 1 year of the tech1.....sounds unlikely :D

i recon at least 500 of the tech1 figure you state is tech2's at change over point, but hay we will never know :D

The figures given are from German production records retained by BMW GB of UK sales.
So your saying that they only sold 312 more tech2's in the 3+ years they were made compared to the 1 year of the tech1.....sounds unlikely
No. Im merely quoting the figures from the above source.

HTH.

Not the best pic, but the top part has been removed, so thats the lower section of the tech2 spoiler still on the boot.

Alright Xavi the chavi! Slower than yours maybe but thats only because it still got all it original metal in it unlike some.....

Besides Im sure mine can beat a Fiat 500 without any issues. Are you sure yours still has the 2.5 M20 not the 2.0 one? Just a thought :wink:
